New Patch Means Fallout 4 Now Looks Better On Consoles

The recent 1.03 patch for PS4 and Xbox One versions of Fallout 4 has brought a whole bunch of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks, but it’s the improvement to the visuals that’s the most obvious improvement byfar.

Digital Foundry have been examining the game following the release of the patch, and have discovered “surprising improvements to draw distance settings for geometry and foliage”. Take a look at the comparison below.

For the unaware, a better draw distance basically means you can see objects further away, which leads to less cars, trees, and various other bits and pieces suddenly popping into existence before your eyes. It definitely helps in terms of immersion if random bits of hedge don’t suddenly spring to life while you’re out and about.

The patch also includes general memory and stability improvements, and a series of welcome fixes to some of the more irksome gameplay bugs.
